Arthur Askey

Arthur Bowden Askey, CBE (6 June 1900 – 16 November 1982) was an English comedian and actor. Askey's humour owed much to the playfulness of the characters he portrayed, his improvisation, and his use of catchphrases, which included "Hello playmates!", "I thank you" (pronounced "Ay-Thang-Yaw"), and "Before your very eyes". more »

Oh, what a wonderful thing to be
A healthy, grown-up, busy-busy bee
Whiling away all the passing hours
Pinching all the pollen from the cauliflowers
I'd like to be a busy little bee
Being as busy as a bee can be
Flying around the garden, brightest ever seen
Taking back the honey to the dear old queen

Bzz-bzz-bzz-bzz, honey bee, honey bee
Bzz if you like but don't sting me
Bzz-bzz-bzz-bzz, honey bee, honey bee
Buzz if you like, but don't sting me

Oh, what a wonderful thing to be
A healthy, grown-up, busy-busy bee
Toying with the tulips, tasting every type
Building up the honey-comb that looks like tripe
I'd like to be a busy little bee
Being just as busy as a bee can be
Flying all around in the wild hedgerows
Stinging all the cows upon the parson's nose
Oh, what a wonderful thing to be
A healthy, grown-up, busy-busy bee
Visiting the picnics, quite a little tease
Raising little lumps on the maiden's knees
I'd like to be a busy little bee
Being with the butterfly strong upon the wing
Whooppee, o death, where is thy sting?

Bzz-bzz-bzz-bzz, honey bee, honey bee
Bzz if you like but don't sting me
Bzz-bzz-bzz-bzz, honey bee, honey bee
Buzz if you like, but don't sting me

Oh, what a wonderful thing to be
A nice, obedient, busy-busy bee
To be a good bee one must contrive
For bees in a beehive must behave
But maybe I wouldn't be a bee
Bees are all right when alive, you see
But when bees die, you really should see 'em
Pinned on a card in a dirty museum

Bzz-bzz-bzz-bzz, honey bee, honey bee
Bzz if you like but don't sting me
Bzz-bzz-bzz-bzz, honey bee, honey bee
Bzz if you like but if you sting me I'll wack ye
With this dirty great newspaper!
